A fall downpour
turns paper Maple leaves…

Ode To Johnny Graham 10/21/2008
…
Harvest time has passed
the season exhales…
tonight seems longer still.
…
The air turns cold –
touching his skin
restless by moonlight
…
A silent wind stirs the leaves
whispers of sun
call him home…
…
Lay down all burdens –
your self, the fallow sound
a garden gate closing…
…
What is this?
Freedom to move!
Limbs like spring currents
…
O, that light is so vital
shimmering on the water –
inhale deeply and dive underneath.
…
The surface is broken
only ripples remain
of a man crossing the river
…
His family and friends cheer
voices lifting the fall chill
distant bells sounding VICTORY.

Moss hanging
………………….from Maple trees
Sword Ferns stand still -
the cougar’s tail twitches…
…
Depression of paws
night time comes to sniff the lawn -
the hearth fire yawns…
